143 Pine Street



1½ storey, red-brick, hip-roofed house with buff-brick trim, and with gabled, central and south brick bays; with later oriel front, and multiple-pane replacement, windows (c. 1890).

Description – Red-brick house is built off bevelled, buff-brick plinth on rubble foundation. Central entry has glazed, slab door, above which transom window may remain under later canopy. Large metal flashings of canopy partially obscure buff-brick voussoirs and red-brick, segmental-arch hood moulding, both of which drop at upper jambs. Recent, oriel windows at front have aluminum-framed casements under similar canopies and flashings. At second floor gable, round arch of buff-brick voussoirs has square-headed, aluminum window (6/6, with false muntins) over thick original sill. Gable fascia is fluted, with tiny, wooden fan-motif at apex and small decorated lobes at eaves, adjacent beaded soffit-boards. Facetted brick bay at south elevation has three, ground-floor, aluminum windows (square-headed 9/9 with false muntins) in buff-brick, segmental-arches with red-brick hood-moulding, all over original sills. Single, 6/6 replacement window above is as at front. South gable is most ornate feature of house, with fluted braces either side having rosettes at ends. Spandrels above and below hammerbeams have applied wooden sun-bursts. Plain fascia frames fluted, inner fascias with scrolled ends, and upper sun-burst over additional moulded below. Roof - surprisingly without shingle-mouldings throughout - is clad in brown asphalt shingles.
